[openstreetmap-website] Faulty links in messages (#995)

[Tom Hughes]

Your point may have worked better if github had displayed the "chevrons" by which I assume you meant less than/greater than?

It's true there was once an RFC that suggested that as a means of delimiting URLs in plain text emails, (actually I think it was something like `<URL:http://www.example.com/>`) but it never really caught on. To the extent that it works now it is probably mostly accidental in that an email client is unlikely to consider those valid URL characters so will stop when it hits them.
